During that time of imprisonment, she was tortured in a remote branch of Xuanyu Hall, lived under strict surveillance every day, and lost all her freedom and dignity.

She was so worried about Xiao Yuyan's safety that she couldn't eat and became thinner and thinner.

Fortunately, not all disciples of Xuan Yu Tang were willing to fall into depravity. Some of them still had a conscience and secretly reported the matter to the headquarters.

After learning about this situation, the chief leader decisively gave orders, requiring the branch to capture the rebellious elder and rescue Dingxiang.

However, the power of the branch is ultimately limited. Faced with the powerful elders, they ultimately had no choice but to quietly let Ding Xiang go to avoid involving more innocent people.

After regaining her freedom, Dingxiang's first thing was to ask around for Xiao Yuyan's whereabouts.

At that time, Xiao Yuyan had been taken home by his anxious parents. They tried various methods but were unable to cure his strange disease, which made Ding Xiang extremely anxious.

So, she thought quickly and asked a reliable disciple of Xuanyu Hall to disguise himself as a coachman, and rushed to Zhangzhou together to seek higher-level help.

However, Ding Xiang didn't know that the treacherous elder had already noticed her escape and was secretly gathering strength to organize a hunt for her.

At this moment, Xuan Yutang's pursuers are quietly approaching, and a new crisis is quietly approaching.

……

Deep in the jungle, sunlight dappled across the wet ground, adding a false sense of warmth to this otherwise dangerous environment.

Xiao Zhixue and her two brothers, Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan, shuttled among the dense vines and uneven bushes. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and they were focused on searching for those dreaded poisonous insects.

Centipedes, scorpions and poisonous snakes for making medicine.

As to whether Ding Xiang and Xiao Wang would report their affairs to the authorities, Xiao Zhixue revealed a hint of indifferent disdain between her brows.

For her, those worldly troubles seemed to no longer affect her mind. Her heart was now only focused on the task at hand.

Soon, Xiao Tingrui's voice broke the silence in the forest, with a hint of irrepressible excitement: "Tingxuan, little sister, come over here and take a look!"

Before he finished speaking, the brother and sister had already walked towards him quickly.

Xiao Tingrui carefully moved a heavy stone covered with moss, and hidden under the stone was the target they were looking for.

Three brightly colored but extremely poisonous scorpions, they gleam with metallic luster in the dim light.

Xiao Zhixue stretched out her hand without hesitation, intending to capture these dangerous little creatures directly. This action scared Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan so much that their faces turned pale and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

"Little sister, this is not a joke. Scorpions are extremely poisonous. Let me do it."

Xiao Tingrui hurriedly spoke out to stop him, his eyes filled with deep worry for his sister's safety.

His body has always been weak, but at this moment, his desire to protect his sister was extremely strong.

However, Xiao Zhixue shook her head gently, with an unquestionable determination in her smile.

She knew very well that her brother's physique was not suitable for contact with these poisonous creatures. Moreover, she had experience in the wild and knew how to catch poisonous scorpions very well.

Even though she was carrying antidotes, she was unwilling to put her loved ones at risk.

Xiao Zhixue's movements were swift and skillful. She gently pressed the scorpion's tail with a specially made small clamp, cleverly avoiding its highly aggressive stinger, and then easily put it into a specially made bamboo tube.

Every successful capture astonished the brothers watching on the side. Their eyes showed both worry and admiration for their sister's ability.

When all three poisonous scorpions were subdued, Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan's tense nerves finally relaxed. They smiled at each other, feeling proud of their sister's bravery and skills.

Xiao Zhixue looked like she was still unsatisfied, and her words were full of determination: "We already have the scorpion, and next we will go find the centipede and the venomous snake."

As soon as Xiao Zhixue finished speaking, she continued on her journey of exploration.

Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and admiration for their sister's changes.

Since that serious illness, my sister seemed to have been reborn. Not only did she recover physically, but her courage and bravery also increased a lot. She was even able to capture a poisonous scorpion with her bare hands. How could such a transformation not be amazing?

It was in this state of mind that Xiao Zhixue accidentally discovered several of the bone-growing flowers she had always dreamed of.

These flowers have strange colors and emit a faint fragrance. According to ancient records, they can be boiled together with the rare three-leaf campanula to make a magical medicine for treating fractures.

In nature, these two herbs often grow together, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them unless they are experienced Chinese medicine practitioners.

Just as Xiao Zhixue was about to pick those miracle flowers that could promote bone growth, a subtle but rapid sound came from the grass at her feet.

Then, a colorful seven-coiled snake slid out silently from the grass, its eyes flashing with cunning light.

For Xiao Zhixue, who is familiar with the nature of snakes, the venom of this seven-coiled snake is so strong that almost no one can resist it. Once bitten by it, the life will quickly expire in a short period of time.

The seven-coiled snake seemed to sense the human breath. It suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its fangs, and pounced towards Xiao Zhixue like a flash of lightning. The air froze instantly.

A confident and cool smile appeared on Xiao Zhixue's lips, as if she had no fear of the impending danger.

The seven-coiled snake was dark green in color with colorful patterns and carried a damp and cold aura. It drew a strange arc in the air, and its sharp fangs could almost touch Xiao Zhixue's delicate skin.

However, at that critical moment of life and death, Xiao Zhixue was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and easily caught the snake's body in her palm like catching a shadow.

Her arms were tightly wrapped by the snake, as if it was going to restrain her completely, but Xiao Zhixue's face remained as calm as water. She just squeezed lightly, and the muscles of her arms were faintly visible. With a crisp click, the snake's head and body were separated, demonstrating her extraordinary strength and determination.

Xiao Tingrui stood aside, secretly horrified in his heart. Although he had already witnessed his sister's decisive ability, every time he witnessed it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, as if the biting cold wind in winter was blowing.

Xiao Tingxuan, who had always been gentle and elegant, was also shocked by his sister's ruthlessness and determination at this moment. He couldn't help but shudder, feeling both proud and worried in his heart.

Xiao Zhixue casually put the body of the seven-coiled snake into the cloth bag she was carrying with her movements skillfully and covertly.

Then, she lightly plucked the long bone flower. The petals shone with a faint glow, as if containing some unknown power.

At a moment when no one noticed, she used the cloth bag to cover the flowers and quietly sent them into her own secret space.

Within the space, there are all kinds of rare and precious things, and now there are two more precious materials.
